The Viking and the Mermaid (Hiccup x Mermaid reader) **DISCONTUNED**

Chapter 8 | face the music

Reader POV

"WHEN WHERE YOU GOING TO TELL ME YOU WERE A MERMAID?!"

"I didn't..."

"I mean it's FLIPPING AWESOME but like dude!"

"Well..."

"And you have superpowers!"

With that I fired a warning shot of a water bomb at her.

"Sorry, continue" Astrid said.

"Well, I was born that way, then cast out of my pod for training a dragon, then I met Hiccup and all that, and-"

"TOOTHLESS NO!"

SPLASH!

"Oh no..." I heard a splash in the distance, along with Hiccup.

"Be right back"

"OH NO (Y/N) YOU WILL EXPLAIN RIGHT NOW!" Astrid yelled running after me.

I sprinted over to Hiccups house where I saw him face planted into the floor with a bucket on his head and a laughing Toothless next to him.

"Oh Thor..."

I heard Astrid gasp and stop in her tracks.

I carefully pulled the bucket off Hiccups head to see him smile up at me.

I smiled awkwardly down at him, I hadn't seen him all day after, I, almost kissed him.

When he noticed Astrid behind me his eyes widened.

"Yeahh, she kinda pushed me into the water and found out... She said she won't tell anyone though" I said.

Hiccup just nodded.

"Hold still"

I placed a hand over his long blue merman's tail and started to steam dry it.

Soon enough his legs had returned.

"But, you, tail, and-"

"ASTRID! We'll explain everything" I said.

-5 hours of explaining later-

"I think I'll have to sleep on this" Astrid said getting up and walking out.

"DON'T TELL ANYONE!" I yelled after her.

Well... That was eventful.

-the next day-

After my refreshing morning swim, I went into the clubhouse for breakfast with the rest of the gang.

I sat beside Hiccup, where we all awkwardly made small talk as we ate.

I finished first so I just rested my hands on the table beside me.

"So anyway..."

I continued my story about the time I found a 'stone of good fortune'

Hiccups POV

Her hand is right there. RIGHT. THERE.

I just... Gotta... Discreetly... Hold it.

The gang are talking about changewing eggs and I'm just kinda picking at my food with one hand and trying to hold (y/n)s with the other.

I just gotta... Creep it closer... And closer.

I pretended to look occupied when Astrid looked my way.

By then I had successfully locked my pinky with (y/n)s.

I glanced over at her with a smile, wondering what kind of guy shes into... Maybe flirty? Because mermaids are flirty?

No. Maybe charming? Or sweet?

Ugh I dunno.

Suddenly I felt something wrap around my hand and squeeze it.

I looked down to so (y/n) had locked her hand with mine!

YES!!

MISSION SUCCESS!

Hiccup is now Happy-cup.
